Storing parts increases. work in process and results in âbatchâ. processing, which subsequently defeats. the purpose of lean manufacturing. In. addition, smaller, minimal size worksta-. tions and machines eliminate unneces-. sary steps taken by the worker between.
Hot season strategies How much water do cows need in hot weather? Allow for 200 - 250 litres per cow per day in hot weather - double what cows usually need each day. Make sure cows have access to plenty of cool drinking water wherever they are during the day. A big water trough on the exit side of the dairy is a must. Provide a minimum of 0.75m water trough space per cow at your feed-out facility. Water pipes should be 75mm in diameter, with suddicient pressure to provide 20 litres per cow per hour, so that troughs cope with periods of peak demand.
Let's assume our cow is a finisher steer that weighs 1000 pounds, raised for four months on a corn-based diet. Average ambient temperature is 70ÂºF or 21ÂºC. That animal is consuming 12.6 gallons of water per day (that's a rate of consumption of 1.2 percent water consumed of the animal's body weight). So over the four months, 1,537 gallons of water is consumed by that animal.
